Get a different game

I can’t get past this level and my dad can’t even either cause he has it on his phone. It’s like why can’t I get past it and he can’t get past it too. Why does this has to be so hard get a different kind. OK it might cost you money

Great level design

Got this for my very STEM minded almost 5 year old. He had a blast playing it with me. Levels are cleverly designed to introduce loop concept. He’s not able to do the loop levels by himself yet but he sort of got the idea already just in one play session.
